Video: 20 Best sounding cars | 2026 Festival of Speed

23rd July 2026

It’s finally time to indulge in the 20 best sounding cars from the 2026 Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard. Every single year we are utterly spoiled with the finest acoustic masterpieces in the automotive world, and this summer was absolutely no exception.

From Thursday's opening runs to Sunday's Timed Shoot-Out, the Festival of Speed delivered a sensory tsunami. Squeezing this brutal wall of sound into a single compilation pushed our microphones to the limit, but our editors captured the ultimate soundtrack of the summer.

Turn up your speakers and prepare your ears for Ryan Tuerck in the Toyota-Judd Formula Supra, sending a savage, high-rpm roar past the flint wall. The stunning GMA T.50s Niki Lauda matches its artful design with a screaming, bespoke V12 symphony, while Italy’s track-only Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 floods the Estate with a spine-tingling exhaust note.

The diversity is staggering: the legendary Pontiac Grand Prix brings a brutal, deep-chested stock car rumble, contrasting with the piercing, old-school screams of the Pagani Huayra R and Ferrari F2008.

Former NASCAR champion Kurt Busch wakes the county with tire-shredding Chevrolet Camaro burnouts, just before design genius Adrian Newey rockets up the hill in his Red Bull RB17 with a sublime, high-pitched mechanical roar. Finally, the TWR Supercat returned to unleash a ferocious V12 purr so loud it could be heard across the entirety of West Sussex.

These are just a handful of the acoustic legends we have packed into the most beautifully noisy 20-minute video on the internet. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the glorious cacophony of internal combustion blast through your speakers.

The 2027 Festival of Speed will take place on 15th-18th July 2027, sign up for ticket alerts to make sure you don't miss out. Tickets are available for GRRC Members and Fellows, you can join the Fellowship today.
